Dr. Moussa Hamadache

Abstract:

Transportation is an important and even crucial part of human life, and the monitoring and prognosis of urban infrastructure is safety-critical, especially within the 4th Industrial Revolution and its associated rapid change in technology. This talk intends to highlight the concept of “Doctor of Machines” with some recent and future innovative technologies within transportation (focusing on railway engineering) that are designed and tested toward their specific application(s) within their working conditions and environment. This achieved through test rigs, test benches, demonstrators, and/or field implementations. Bio: Dr. Moussa Hamadache has an Engineer of State degree in Automation of Industrial Processes (summa cum laude) and a PhD in Electrical & Electronic Engineering with over 14 years of research experience gained in several international excellent research groups including: - The Dependable Embedded Control System (DECS) Lab, Kyungpook National University, South Korea; - The System Health & Risk Management (SHRM) lab, Seoul National University, South Korea; - The MechVib, the Mechanics and Vibrations Research Group, University of Ferrara, Italy; - The Birmingham Centre for Railway Research and Education (BCRRE), University of Birmingham (UoB), UK; and - The Department of Automation of Industrial Processes & the Electrical Systems Engineering Department, Faculty of Technology, University of M'hamed-Bougara Boumerdes, Algeria. His research path resulted in dozen of high quality research articles (such the IEEE Transaction in Industrial Electronics), several honors and awards (Awarded the Korean Government Scholarship Program on 2008; Awarded 4 Student Best Paper Awards between 2014 and 2019). He research field is on System health condition monitoring (FDD, PHM); Predictive and condition-based maintenance, Robotics; Signal processing and filtration; Control system and automation; Mechatronics systems including applications to railways. He is an Associate Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (UK).
